I’m on a small-ship Alaska cruise with my son; our boat rescued a stranded vessel last night and apparently we did that after the Coast Guard radioed Mark Zuckerberg’s yacht - which was closer - and they repeatedly refused to respond.

I want some analyst to ask $META about their user numbers. Specifically - have their standards for detecting and deleting bot accounts - have they stayed the same from, say 7 years ago to now. I think Meta's user numbers are getting majorly inflated, by them firing Integrity teams.

Third book of the year. Finished in two sittings with just a break for chores in between. I don't know if this would be considered cheating - to pick a book I loved long ago, and then completing those. I didn't pick it up for count though. These books are my escape, my comfort food, my indulgence!

Finally completed the second book of the year. Picked this up in Half Price Books. Took almost two months to complete. Novels are faster to complete than story collections. Story collections have natural breaks at which point I put the book down. Plus my English reading is slower compared to Telugu.
